> I don't know why iOS apps in general are so much larger than Android apps [...]

Rough guess: It probably wouldn't be this dramatic of an increase, but could it be something to do with iOS disallowing Just-in-Time compilation, and forcing Ahead-of-Time? I've always wondered.

They don't seem to like generators either, which is even stranger. Why block the usage of features which might be useful in some cases?

I'm sure that's how the popular html5shim used to work, too. I remember looking at the source out of curiosity.

It always seems a shame when naturally clever people are assumed to have autism, or when their cleverness is attributed to it. Why can't someone just be intelligent without labels?

To be pedantic, assuming the fuel is used in a combustion engine, there will always be a percentage of the fuel wasted as heat energy. This depends on the thermodynamic efficiency of the engine and various other conditions, of course.

> The idea that everything on the web should be written in react

Says who? There are plenty of choices: vanilla, Lit, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Riot, etc. Some of the alternatives are very good.

None of these have usage numbers that rival react, at least not in the US. I wish it were so because many react libraries can easily support other view libraries with minor modifications to decouple it from react.

I'm not sure if this still holds true, but I recall a time when you had to use them to create error boundaries. Of course, plenty of third-party hooks were made to bridge the gap.

Has that ever been proved? All sources I can find are riddled in ambiguity. It's "one of two scenarios". I suppose we'll never really know for certain.

It has never been proven, it's just a conspiracy theory and a convenient way to blame China. The truth is that viruses are constantly evolving in nature, and pandemics are a fairly regular occurrence as a result.

Obligatory mention: ImagePipe[0]. It lets you compress pictures and edit them. You can share images to ImagePipe and it automatically shows a dialog to share compressed versions with another app (hence the "Pipe" -- it's a pipeline!)

Perhaps that's an overly cynical take? It doesn't read like AI slop to me, more like an overview of the video. As someone who finds it hard to get solid answers online anymore, I found this article genuinely informative (though, of course, the video provides the most value.)

Parts of the article repeat other parts of that article.

If you're saying that was done by a human, rather than by AI - then things are even worse.

the point of the article/website appears to be to collect useful resources. as such it probably works better than trying to find and select useful videos directly.
